I am so glad that the president has finally endorsed the gay marriage issue, however, it makes him look like a very bad actor. Too bad he couldn’t give the LGBT community his blessing early in office and it’s obvious that he is just grasping at straws at this point because his numbers are so low in nearly every poll. He merely just wants the gay vote right now. Regardless of any of this, with many right-wingers against gay marriage, the sad fact is that this issue still has a long road ahead from becoming law fr COAST TO COAST!!!

I’m glad that the president is finally endorsing the gay marriage issue, however it still feels like he did this just to get the gay vote. He is obviously grasping at straws right now because his numbers in nearly every poll are way down. Too bad he didn’t do this sooner while in office because it just makes him look like a really bad actor. The whole thing is simply all political and even with his so-called endorsement, the idea of gay marriage in this country from COAST TO COAST, still has a long road ahead.

Drop the Kool-Aid, Mr. Schlein. Why don’t you direct your invective where it rightfully belongs: at the leaders of YOUR party, the Grand Old Party. You know, the ones who think a ban on same-sex marriage should be enshrined in our Constitution. You know, the ones who think Lawrence v. Texas should be overturned. You know, the ones who boo a gay veteran. You know, the ones who think bullying gay teenagers is just horseplay. You know, the ones who keep you locked out of their state convention. You know, YOUR party.

Obama’s words were very nice to hear. But actions must speak more loudly. Did he call for the repeal of DOMA in the party platform? No. Did he call for legislation federally for same-sex marriage? No. Did he sign an executive order banning LGBT discrimination for federal contractors. No.

So, yes, the words sounded pretty, but my objection to Obama is that it is only WORDS. My other objection is that he is using LGBT like pawns on a chess board for his own gain. I don’t like feeling manipulated.

BACK IT UP!

The Republican party has now completely substituted reason for madness. It’s the party of delusion: delusional economics, delusional pseudo-science, and public and foreign policy based on a delusional abuse of religious literature. We should not be surprised by R. Clarke Clifford’s comments on CNN which Log Cabin was apparently proud enough to blast to their email list. After all, he’s a member of the same party where Newt “Moon Base” Gingrich, Rick “ooops” Perry, Swiss national dum-dum Bachman, Herman “999″ Cain, Pope wannabe Rick Santorum were all at one time this year presumptive nominees of their party.

I expect the Texas Republican Party will invite LCR Executive Director Clarke Cooper to speak to the State Convention about his criticism of the President and his undying love for all things Republican, and to be honored for his principled stand on the issue of same-sex marriage.

Oh, wait–the Log Cabin Republicans are not allowed to be in the hall at the Texas State Republican Convention, because, they are, you know, gay. Well, maybe Cooper can stand outside the convention hall and use a bullhorn to shout his thanks to his Republican masters.

“I’ve always been adamant that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally,” President Obama

“The best way to honor our son is to keep fighting for marriage equality every day,” Lori Wilfahrt

“Bill, I’ve just handed the South to the Republicans for fifty years, certainly for the rest of our life times.”
President Johnson, a Democrat, after signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964

President Obama, and Family, are boldly honoring Andrew Wilfahrt, Clarke Cooper and so many other “second class” citizens with this announcement. LCR’s Clarke Cooper should publicly poll the Republican leaders he helped protect in Iraq to see if they are as bold in supporting his equality and civil rights at home.

Let me see,

* President Obama comes out in favor of same-sex marriage.

* Republican Mitt Romney declares he is immutably and forever opposed to same sex marriage and even domestic partnerships

* Log Cabin Republican Executive Director R. Clarke Cooper let’s Mitt Romney slide and attacks President Obama for coming out in support of marriage equality.

Got it.

That’s why Log Cabin Republicans are nothing more than self-loathing Butt Boys for Bigots.

Instead of attacking our President, I suggest R. Clarke Cooper and the rest of the sad Log Cabin Republicans seek mental health treatment for Stockholm Syndrome.

Clarke Cooper, LCR executive director, has shown us the true nature of his character, and it’s as ugly as the butt-end of a baboon in heat. His vile remarks and disgraceful attacks on the president have no place in intelligent conversation.

The only place Dick Chaney has supported marriage equality is in the deluded and fevered mind of gutter snipes like Clarke Cooper. There’s a difference between supporting marriage equality and calling it “inevitable in some states”.

Clarke Cooper and his buddies in Log Cabin are sad little patsies for a morally bankrupt party dominated by Theocrats.
